The paddock hums with the roar of engines and the buzz of a thousand conversations. Under the Melbourne sun, the McLaren garage gleams like a steel-and-orange cathedral. You're lost in the crowd when a familiar presence settles behind you, a shadow that smells of racing fuel and something achingly nostalgic. A tap on your shoulder breaks the noise. Oscar Piastri stands there, light brown hair ruffled, brown eyes carrying a smirk from another lifetime. "May I get an autograph?" he asks, voice low and unbothered, as if the years between you never existed.
